Bayer Complete Insect Killer
 
Just want to let anyone know who wants to buy this in Canada that Big Show Frags has it in stock.

This product is the only product I have found that knocks redbugs, black bugs and AEFW off the corals. All other products just aggravate them.

As the border is closed smuggling it over just isn't an option anymore.

Its good to know that they have it, but holly overpriced!!! They are asking $55, while Amazon (US) has it for $13 US. Yes, it is same size and volume. Unless you absolutely need it right now, forget that rip off.

Some people don't have access to the border, Amazon will not ship that from the US here and some people might not want to risk smuggling the product back from the US. The price is high likely because they had to apply to Health Canada for a special use pesticide license or they are just taking the risk selling it illegally.

I read on Reef2Reef that a better alternative is Melafix pond formula. It’s also clear so you can see what’s going on. I might switch to this even though I have a huge bottle of Bayer

Frogger 04-17-2020 08:50 AM

Melafix is an antibacterial treatment, Not sure how that would work on anthropods and flatworms. I haven't read about it in regards to treating pests but will check into it.

When I had black bug I tried everything from Coral RX, revive, fresh water dips to Hydrogen peroxide and those things just laughed at those treatments, I killed more corals than black bugs. It was only until I used Bayer that I was able to kill black bugs. I wasn't able to get the black bugs out of my tank until I dosed the tank with several double doses of milbemycin oxime.

I also found several AEFW on new frags after a Coral RX dip. I have yet to find anything left on my sps corals when I dip with Bayer and I have yet to kill a coral. I fully inspect my new corals with a dissecting microscope before adding the coral to my quarantine tank after treating with Bayer.

Watch his website The prices are in USD, he pulled a fast one on me once and never again. Which is sad because he has some products I want.

I purchased products from him last year and he didn't charge me in US dollars. I just looked up the invoice to make sure.

Your right, your invoice will be in CAD. I caught it when my CC and invoice wasnt the same as my cart. He said it was due to the sight being in USD and I should have caught it because it says USD at the bottom of the website page.

** edit** I see he has now changed so everything is in CAD.
